If payment is not received within thirty days from the invoice date, Client agrees to pay a finance charge on the principal amount of the past due account of one and one_half percent per month. If one and one_half percent per month exceeds the maximum allowed by law, the charge shall automatically be reduced to the maximum legally allowable. Client agrees to pay all costs associated with collection of overdue invoices, including reasonable attorney’s fees. In the event Client requests termination of the services prior to completion, a termination charge in an amount not to exceed thirty per cent of all charges incurred through the date services are stopped plus any shutdown costs may, at the discretion of TEAM Services be made. If during the execution of the services, TEAM Services is required to stop operations as a result of changes in the scope of services such as requests by the Client or requirements of third parties, additional charges will be applicable. INSURANCE _ TEAM Services maintains Workers' Compensation and Employer's liability Insurance in conformance with applicable state law. In addition, we maintain Comprehensive General Liability Insurance and Automobile Liability Insurance with bodily injury limits of $1,000,000/$1,000,000 and property damage limits of $1,000,000. A certificate of insurance can be supplied evidencing such coverage which contains a clause providing that ten days written notice be given prior to cancellation. Cost of the above coverage is included in our quoted fees. If additional coverage or increased limits of liability are required, TEAM Services will endeavor to obtain the requested insurance and charge separately for costs associated with additional coverage or increased limits. TEAM Services shall maintain professional liability insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 (claims made basis). STANDARD OF CARE _ The only warranty or guarantee made by TEAM Services in connection with the services performed hereunder, is that we will use that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised under similar conditions by reputable members of our profession practicing in the same or similar locality. No other warranty, expressed or implied, is made or intended by our proposal for consulting services or by our furnishing oral or written reports. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY – Client agrees that TEAM Services’ liability of any damage on account of any error, omission or other professional negligence will be limited to a sum not to exceed $50,000 or TEAM Services fee, whichever is greater. If client prefers to have higher limits on professional liability TEAM Services agrees to increase the limits up to a maximum of $1,000,000 upon Client’s written request at the time of accepting our proposal provided that Client agrees to Pay an additional consideration of two percent of our total fee, or $200, whichever is greater. The additional charge for the higher liability limits is because of the greater risk assumed and is not strictly a charge for additional professional liability insurance. SAMPLING OR TESTING LOCATION _ The fees included in this proposal do not include costs associated with surveying of the site or the accurate horizontal and vertical locations of tests. Field tests or boring locations described in TEAM Services' report or shown on sketches are based on specific information furnished by others or estimates made in the field by our technicians. Such dimensions, depths or elevations should be considered as approximations unless otherwise stated in the report. RIGHT_OF_ENTRY _ Unless otherwise agreed, Client will furnish right of entry on the property for us to make the planned borings, surveys, tests, and/or explorations. We will take reasonable precautions to minimize damage to the property caused by our operations, but we have not included in our fee the cost of restoration of damage which may result. If Client desires us to restore the property to its former condition, we will accomplish this and add the cost to our fee. DAMAGE TO EXISTING MANMADE OBJECTS _ It shall be the responsibility of the Client or his duly authorized representative to disclose the presence and accurate location of all hidden or obscure man_made objects relative to field tests or boring locations.

SAMPLE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT _ Unless otherwise requested, test specimens or samples will be disposed of immediately upon completion of tests and drilling samples or other specimens will be disposed of 60 days after submission of our report. Upon written request, TEAM Services will retain test specimens or drilling samples for a mutually acceptable storage charge and period of time.

Client agrees that all documents of any nature furnished to Client or Client's agents or designees, if not paid for, will be returned upon demand and will not be used by Client for any purpose whatsoever. Client further agrees that under no circumstances shall any documents produced by, pursuant to this Agreement, be used at any location or for any project not expressly provided for in this Agreement without the written permission of TEAM Services. At the request and expense of Client, TEAM Services will provide Client with copies of documents created in the performance of the work for a period not exceeding five years following submission of the report contemplated by this Agreement.

SITE VISITS _ Client agrees that TEAM Services will not be expected to make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections but that periodic observations appropriate to the construction stage shall be performed. It is further agreed that TEAM Services will not assume responsibility for the contractor's means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures of construction, and it is understood that field services provided by TEAM Services will not relieve the contractor of his responsibilities for performing the work in accordance with the plans and specifications.
